Important tips to get your vehicle ready for winter

Saskatchewan winters can sneak up quickly. Your vehicle and its engine can really be affected by winter weather. To help prepare your vehicle for the snow and cold, CAA Saskatchewan encourages motorists to follow these important tips:

- Test your battery: Colder temperatures can weaken the battery and cause it to fail.

- Test your block heater and cord: When the temperature falls below -15°C, it’s important to plug in. Remember to pick up your free SaskPower block heater timer at any of the 15 CAA locations, including the Car Care Centres in Saskatoon and Regina.
